Lose up to 50 pounds this year by walking 10,000 steps a day...without dieting

There's been a lot of talk about taking 10,000 steps a day lately. Everyone from your doctor to your smart phone is busy counting how many times you put your left foot in front of your right. But what does it all really mean? Is this another gimmick or a fad? Is it really possible that just ambling about a bit longer each day will lead to lasting weight loss and better health? If it doesn't feel strenuous, can walking for exercise actually strengthen muscles and burn fat? 10,000 steps is how many miles, anyway?

In this book, I take critical look at the idea of walking for weight loss and health. I discuss my research on the preventative effects walking offers against heart disease, type II diabetes, depression, stroke, stress, osteoporosis, and even the common cold. I detail the relationship between walking and weight loss, and outline a progressive plan for walkers at any fitness level.

Figure out which fitness gadgets and apps you need to get started walking for weight loss
